Grrr..... FedEx.

Alright, so I buy a case on FS/T here. The guy sends it out FedEx. Besides taking a very long time to get to my local processing center, it starts backtracking with no explanation. I call after a while of no progress showing. They tell me it was damaged. :|. I PM the guy who sold it, we agree that I'll tell them to deliver it to me despite the damage, and that if it's extensive, I'll mark it return to sender, and he'll refund me. After a few days, I check the package status... delivered 2 days ago? What the? I go downstairs to search for a package... none. I takea closed look at the status... delivered... to him? Arg. 😕 I PM him, and tell him that he has it... he tells me that he has to go to the processing center to pick it up. At this time, I am about to leave on a 17 day trip, during which time I will have no access to a computer. I ask him to temporarily refund the purchase price via paypal, so that he wouldn't be holding the case and the money at the same time. He did so. Upon returning from the trip, he tells me that the damage is just a screw that was rattling around. :| I guess FedEx was right to mark it as damaged, but wrong to not send it to me as I told them. I called up FedEx and they say that it's standard procedure to ship it back to the shipper if damaged. I told them that the last time I called, they said I would get the package. The lady told me that a request can be made to have it delivered to the original address, but it's at the discretion of the shipping center holding the package. That makes no sense. 😕 So right now, the seller has the undamaged case, and is minus $35. I have the same thing that I started out with. FedEx has $35 for providing nothing but a hassle. There's no claim for damage to be made since it was just a loose screw, and FedEx won't reship for free- will they? The seller and I have a temporary agreement to just cut the loss and live with it, but is there anything that can be done? I rather wanted that case.
 
I think just to be nice, you should give him $17.50.

Also, for a big corporation like Fedex, the "hassles" add up. That was nice of them to return it, even though it may not have turned out to be for the best in your case.

Nice of them to have returned it? I asked them to ship it as planned. The lady said it would be done. Then it wasn't. Grr.

Huh?

How in any way is it his fault?


The way the post reads, "Fedex has $35 for providing nothing but a hassle" implies that the shipping on the case was $35 (which seems super high).

How is this the shippers fault? The shipper didn't ask for this to happen, and the buyer had contacted fedex about it too, and for all we know, the shipping center would have still sent it to him had he called sooner. Really, neither the seller or the buyer is to blame at all, but the seller got dicked out of an extra $35 for no reason. If I were thebuyer, I'd split this loss with him
